How cool are these !!!
17 1/4"h & 3" bases made from bronze these African looking people are awesome!!
Found at an antique centre in Exeter UK , I don't think they're too old but I just love them !! They're clothes are polished to look a Goldie colour and they're so thin I can put them anywhere & they look cool wherever I put them :-)
I don't know anything about them but will list anything I find..
Hope you like them :-)

-Vintage Benin tall statue bronze African tribal figure- ...

Thanks CindB for your love & cool comments :-)
They're defiantly different !!
I have one myself bought twenty years ago in Sydney. But mine is much smaller. I saw one your size a few years back too! I have never been able to really work out where they were made. Great decor pieces.

I have some African masks and I think they were made for the tourists in Kenya. I'm not positive on that tho. I'll see if I can locate them and let you know.
Very tall people :)
